Whoa whoa whoa. So it's only 3-5 days plus a test, not 10:
[b]
Per  DC Health’s Guidance  for  Travel,  unvaccinated  or  partially  vaccinated  individuals  who  have  traveled domestically  to  any  place  other  than  Maryland  or  Virginia  must  either  (1)  not attend  school  for  10  days after returning,  or  (2)  not  attend  school  until  tested  for  COVID-19  three  to  five  days  after returning  AND receive  a  negative  COVID-19  viral  test.   [/b][/quote]

unless you can pay $150 for a same-day test, this is effectively 1 week. [/quote]

FYI, these days you can get a same day or 24 hour test for free, because the turnaround is so fast (I assume because demand is down.) I went to a same-day testing place and said I'd be happy to wait 3-5 days. Got results that evening. I've done this 2 or 3 times now. (Not that this has any bearing on the DCPS rules, but FYI for anyone who needs a test.)[/quote]
